St. Johnsville Municipal Marina is located on the Erie Canal-Mohawk River system at mile 69.48, providing access to a significant waterway in central New York. The Mohawk River at this location is a large river (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of 3455 cubic feet per second and a moderate velocity of 2.87 feet per second. The water conditions here represent a relatively gentle section of the river with an average gradient of 1.7 feet per mile, making it suitable for various types of boating activities. The site is positioned in Saint Johnsville, Montgomery County, offering convenient public access to this major waterway.

Boaters should be aware that the Mohawk River maintains consistent flow characteristics typical of a large navigable river. The moderate current and velocity suggest suitable conditions for both motorized and non-motorized vessels, though paddlers should have basic river experience. The elevation at this access point is approximately 92 meters, and the river system drains a substantial area of 4959 square miles, indicating a well-established waterway with reliable water levels throughout the year.

As a municipal facility, this marina likely offers amenities typical of public boat launches in New York State, though specific details about parking capacity, restroom facilities, or day-use fees are not provided in the available data. Boaters planning to use this access should contact the St. Johnsville municipal office for current information about facilities, hours of operation, and any applicable fees or restrictions.
